Today Jesus reminds us not just to listen to his words and to act upon them but also to be like the wise man who built his house on rock and was therefore able to weather any storm. We’d all like to say that we build our lives on a solid foundation rooted in God and that Jesus is our rock. But is that always the case? Do we sometimes build our lives on material things or questionable people? Do we allow doubt or fear to erode our solid foundation during difficult times?

Listen to Jesus’ words AND act upon them . Change the things that challenge your core and embrace practices that strengthen your faith.
